| Vpi tnt or vpi rosewood prime b I would go with the Prime besides being a gorgeous table it is a current version and the 10 inch 3D arm is very easy to set up and maintain, with that said the peripheral ring and clamp should be part of your equation with either of the 3D/unipivo... | |
| Should I get an SL-1200G Spent a little time with the 1200G and liked it but no where near enough to sell my VPI Prime for and that was before I added the SMFA, Periferal Ring and SDS to the mix. With that said I feel the Aries is a step up from the Prime and that is what... | |
| Should I get an SL-1200G One word of caution if you do buy the 1200, don't sell the Aries first as I believe you will realize you have taken a step or two or..... backwards. Just sayin. | |
| Who needs a Preamp?? I do. | |
| LiL Feat - Paul Barrere Gone At 71 What a wonderful and talented core of talent in a great band that he was a hugh part of. I'll be playing more Little Feat than usual in the coming weeks, so sad. | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl @lelleturbo, don't take my retort too seriously, I was just yanking your chain and actually enjoyed your sense of humor. Thanks for posting. | |
| Why do YOU love Vinyl/or hate vinyl @lelleturbo, so a funnel gramophone and wax rolls gets you closer to reality? Wow what insight, maybe you can do that while you play your geetar and make your fruit bowls. Enjoy the music | |

Both the pres I have seem to have benifited greatly with attenuation employed, ... | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain I have used attenuators (10db) between my Audible Illusions 3B and amps to allow greater range of the volume controls, my Lamm LL2.1 has a 15 db attenuator switch on the front panel that I use as well for the same reason. Enjoy the music. | |
| General question about tube preamps and gain @gochurchgo, you need to just leave that Quicksilver alone and let it break in till you get a couple hundred hours + on it. The builder is very conscious of the tubes he uses and the matching of them. Enjoy the music. | |
| New Preamp arrived.... What is it we are trying to do exactly? Your room your ears. Give me a preamp everday and Let me listen to my music with all its glory. Just sayin | |
| New Preamp arrived.... @georgehifi , oh but george everything brings something into the mix now doesn't it, I like to chose for myself what that will be. Enjoy the music | |
| New Preamp arrived.... "Thousands of dollars to turn up and down the volume is pretty crazy". Yea that would be if that's all it did. | |
| Considering simplifying my system... talk me down (or whatever) Don't do it man, hang in there till your hand is forced and maybe just maybe that will never happen. Congrats on turning 80 and enjoy your time. Enjoy the music | |
| New Preamp arrived.... Don't be too critical right now, you puchased a nice piece of equipment from a very reputable builder and the nuances of the tube circuit well employed will show up in spades, relax and play some music and enjoy, before you know it you will forget... |
